You overestimate the range that your block actually covers, I do this to shielders. This is just a matter of hitboxes.
Aha thank you, a good answer, something similar has crossed my mind.You would insult Vargas?! Mute! No but seriously, I hate how people can swing around my block, but I love doing it to other people and hearing them rage about it just as hard as I do! I'd recommend learning how to do this just as effectively against your opponents as they seem to be doing it to you, and you'll be making them look as angry as you do!
Yeah I know it got moved to spam, I think it has something to do with the average low IQ of an admin: "Duh silleh faces mean dat it isnt sewious".

Yeah that is another train of thought ive had, another fault is if you turn too much and expose your back or sides without realising it, unfortunately that isnt always easy to judge, especially since characters often turn at the speed of a raging granny at the garden centre on discount day, who has just realised that the last compost bag has gone.Have you tried always sticking with a friend to assault enemies? The buddy system works with cub scouts and warriors!
As for Vargas, perhaps I was being too harsh on the old boy. Probably just doing his job. :mrgreen:

Blocking is for pussies.This is what I 've been saying all along!

You look a bit like Shaggy.
Hits that go through blocks are usually hits that go through blocks that have not been held. I learned this lesson apon examination of video footage that I took and then slowed down 8X. The footage showed that in normal time the animation of the block gave the illusion that you're still protecting your character, but when slowed down 8X slower than normal speed I recognised my character starting to lower the block as the enemy swing came crashing down.
Sure it's annoying, especially when you're facing someone who knows exactly when you've let go of block and not before the animations on your screen catch up with the action of releasing the block, which I suspect is down to badluck and possible client modding which shows when players are blocking or not...
